Familiar Figures on the Sidewalk-The
Handkerchief and Suspender Man.

The suspendcr and handkerchief gentlemen
are curious looking objects in business hours.
They are literally loaded down with their
wares. Dozens of suSpenders of all grades,
from the very cheap TO the cheapest naic,
dangle from both arms, and in each hand are
large quantities OF coarse handkerchicfS
ranging from ) cents to - cents apiece Ii
is not unusual to see four or five of these fell
lows talking together over the state OF trade
in general and suspenderS and handkerchefS
in particular. They are looked down upon
by the fa6irs who own stands, and they move
iii q circle OF their own. They make about
81 a day each.
The lamp shade fakir is a character worth
studying He sells nothing but tissue paper
lamp shades, but he understands this business
from top to bottom He can always gather
crowd by showing the many wonderful
shapes into which he can twist shade, and
he IS constantly practicing the most graceful
personal attitudes 70 catch the eyes Of the fair
pedestrians He is very dramatic in all his
gestures and has deep bass voice, which he
uses with great effect.
"Penknres: Best Sheffield and American
make; take Your choice for % cents" is the
sign tackled on to the side of an elaborate
stand on Market street Dozen Of knives are
displayed in a confused heap on a red cloth
table. They range in size from a delicate lit
tie pearl handle penknife to a gardeners
pruning knife, but they all cost the same.
The STEEL it IS needless to say, is not Of the
finest, and the knives ere finished very
roughly. They are all good counterfeits of
the better grades and would fool any one who
was not q good judge of cutlery. They sell
rapidly and the knife fakir makes money.
